De Niro and Crystal make an effective comedy team, but overall the film misses its mark on more than one occasion.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 9, 2020

Analyze This has multiple personalities and hits the audience with a few fresh jokes but far too many 1970s mafia movie cliches.

| Mar 5, 2020

The screenplay offers some hearty laughs if you can stand bursts of violence and language as foul as a Mafioso's business agenda.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 21, 2019

Suffice to say that the real pleasures of Analyze This lie in the easy confidence with which De Niro savages himself.

| Mar 21, 2019

Apart from some quick, deft strokes every now and then, the director's comic style is as broad as the movie is shallow.

| Apr 4, 2018

The whole thing is very light and occasionally hilarious, but it's hardly a new idea.

| Nov 28, 2017

Thanks to three very strong writers...and the willpower of its leads, Analyze This turns out to be an amusing piffle. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 28, 2010

It all ends in a hail of bullets and profanities -- but the laughs keep coming.

| Aug 22, 2008

Sometimes very funny, but wears its sudden tone swings and flurries of profanities like a pair of cement shoes...

It's a one-joke movie, but it's an awfully good joke, told here by experts.

| Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2007

Not since Midnight Run has Mr. De Niro been afforded such a perfect opportunity to flex his comedic muscles.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2007

[De Niro and Crystal] would seem to be perfectly cast as this oddest of odd couples, but something has gone wrong with the comic chemistry.

| Apr 27, 2007

Even though it's only March, Analyze This is going to be the comedy to beat this year - nothing else so far has come close.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 30, 2006

The comedy is heavy and the use of the stars lazy and cliched...

| Jun 24, 2006

What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2005

Robert De Niro gets the best out of his performance as the psychologically- challenged gangster.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 9, 2005

What we learn -- yet again -- is that potentially terrific comedies are often whacked by filmmakers who feel the need to spread a little therapy themselves.

Full Review | Aug 7, 2004

In Midnight Run (1988), De Niro and Charles Grodin made a wonderful team, but the pair in Analyze This doesn't seem to click in the same way.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2003

A witty, upbeat comedy that is more concerned with making its audience laugh than any other of its cinematic virtues (or lack thereof).

| Original Score: B | May 22, 2003
